Young: Next four years are going to be rocky

Next four years are going to be rocky

Recently in a front-page story of The Times a leader of one of the voting rights organizations stated that the country came close to a "catastrophe" because of the long lines at some voting precincts! Have we as a nation become that soft and decadent? Surely he was jesting. A catastrophe is a hurricane Katrina or Sandy - not a few hours wait to find out how an election was decided. This idiot needs to grow up and redefine what is important. It's obvious he has never faced a real crisis in his life.

Concerning the election, does our president think we are mushrooms? Why does he try to keep us in the dark and feed us barnyard fertilizer? In his statement after the election he stated that the nation had clearly voted for "change."

Come again. Didn't I just witness the country returning the presidency and the Senate back into the control of the Democratic party and the House of Representatives back into control of the Republican Party - exactly like it was before the election? There was absolutely no change whatsoever.

As a matter of fact almost 120 million Americans voted and 50.1 percent voted to return Mr. Obama to office. That's 501 people out of every 1000. I may be wrong, but I think that is the lowest percentage of the vote that an incumbent has been re-elected within the history of the nation. Some change.

Our country has been so evenly divided that we may never come together on any issue. The next four years are going to be very rocky in the history of the republic and we may never recover.
